T-Mobile's CEO suggests that direct-to-cell Starlink service will be offered to those on its most expensive plans as a free perk. Others will be able to get it as a paid add-on.
T-Mobile has several Galaxy S25 deals available, with some customers able to save $1,000 for trading in old phones in poor condition.
The latest iOS 18.3 update enables the satellite texting feature offered by T-Mobile through Starlink for select iPhone users.
At the moment, only texting is supported, and media attachments are no longer blocked, although only medium-resolution images and audio are supported for now. A future upgrade will also add video support. Later in 2025 and beyond, voice and data will also be activated.
T-Mobile US CEO Mike Sievert stated the direct-to-device (D2D) service with Starlink has ramped up beta testing over the past few weeks.
